ContainerDays Hamburg Recap: 3 Days Full of Container Craziness

June 26, 2018

Now in its third year and moved to the historic Hamburg Harbor Museum, ContainerDays 2018 was the perfect setting to
discuss containers, microservices, Kubernetes, and cloud native tooling. Over 800 attendees came from around the
world
to hear talks from leading minds in the cloud native ecosystem including Craig McLuckie, co-founder of Kubernetes,
Ihor Dvoretskyi from the CNCF, and Sandeep Dinesh, a developer advocate at Google. With one day of workshops and two
days of sessions, many bottles of Club Mate and Fritz Cola were consumed by our team to keep everyone going strong.

Day One workshops covered a range of topics from Basic Istio Playgrounds to Advanced Kubernetes Security. We were
happy
to run the Loodse classic, Kubernetes for Developers, hosted by our ever affable trainer Guus. Sessions kicked off
on
Day Two with a talk from Ursula Richenberger, of the German Port Museum Project, explaining how shipping containers
transformed the transportation and logistics industry just as containers and Kubernetes are currently changing IT
development and operations. Between attending talks and staffing the Loodse booth, the rest of the conference seemed
to fly by. Outside the talks, both the free harbor boat tour and food trucks (no soggy sandwiches here) were real
highlights that set ContainerDays apart from your average conference center conference.
